Jill Staubitz

I fell in love with weaving about ten years ago, when I retired from my career in graphic design. The two disciplines overlap perfectly through my love for color, pattern, and the design process. I became an artisan at the Hartford Artisans Weaving Center and began teaching as well as weaving my own creations. My classes focus on aiding weavers in understanding weave structures. The Pandemic led me to launch ‘Modern Weaver’ with the intent of building a community of weavers desiring to connect with others through learning in a virtual setting. I love teaching structures in a simple, understandable way. It is my greatest delight when participants come away from my presentations with a clear understanding and feel confident enough to create their own cloth.

My work has appeared in Long Thread Media’s Handwoven and Little Looms magazines. I enjoy designing weaving drafts for WEBS. I teach workshops to guilds and weaving groups across the country, both in-person and online, including teaching at the 2024 Convergence Conference as well as the upcoming 2025 MAFA conference in Millersville, PA.
